Patrick "Selleck" Short

August 24, 1988 - November 6, 2012 Biography Patrick Selleck Short was born in Tulsa, OK on August 24th, 1988. In childhood, Selleck lived in Broken Arrow, attending Vandever Elementary, Sequoyah Middle and Broken Arrow High schools. After graduating in 2007, he moved to Tulsa and attended Tulsa Community College. He held several jobs while in school; the last of which was as Promotions Tech for Journal Broadcasting. While Selleck was recognized as a hard and dedicated worker, he was not defined by his jobs or educational pursuits. Selleck was known instead by his deep love of friends and family and as a passionate defender of the lowly and meek. The youngest of three brothers, Selleck was the heart of his family. In his unique way, he desired only to bring joy to those around him, whether by a gift on even unusual holidays or by a witty retort in a spirited debate. He relished political discourse and was happy to engage anyone in a heated discussion. But his passion was never in mean-spiritedness. His passion was born of his love for the hearts of everyone he knew. He was most content when he found some happiness that he could bring to another. Selleck also had a particular fondness for animals. He loved not only his own pets but even those he found strayed from their owners. He enjoyed fantasy football and was proud to have won a league championship. He was an ardent OU fan and could be reliably found watching the Sooners whenever they played. Selleck died on November 6th, 2012 at the age of 24. He left this world too young. Surrounded by his family, he arose to God’s embrace where, by the goodness of his heart, we know that he prays that we may join him one day in heaven. He is survived by many and will be forever remembered as a loving son, brother and uncle, who improved this world by his presence in it.
